Swizz Beatz owes the IRS a whole lot of money

IRS records show that producer Swizz Beatz (real name Kaseem Dean) owes $842,644.52 in back taxes. Ouch, that's a lot of money, but not quite Willie Nelson level.

In 1990 the feds hit up Willie for $16.7 million, and he responded with a double album - I wonder what Swizz is cooking up to pay his bills? He's got a new DMX album in the pipes, as well as the follow up to last year's disappointing One Man Band. Either way, he might want to lay off some of the, "It's Me Snitches" boasts until he can pay up. [TMZ]
